Follow up on rear endlinks

[Michael Cacioppo]

Thanks to stonemiser and others the upgraded rear end links number is 5L2Z5K484AB. It was stated to ask for the '04 end link part. I just ordered these and to complete the story the '03 had one design. the '04 another and the final configuration for the '05 is 5L2Z5K484AB. So if you have an '04 or earlier it appears that the '05 is an improvement in design and is now the replacement part for all earlier models.

Can you post pics? If you have them installed: Is the handling better? :unsure: Also, upgrade your rear anti-sway bar and front end links too. If you do any off roading get rear sway bar disconnects (dicso's).

I havean '04 and it has the upgrade from the factory. The way to tell is the lower bolt has a hex on each end. The early ones had a round head on the oposite end from the nut.

Rodger (& Georgia) the pics are in stonemiser's project folder. I have an EE swaybar installed and a Roadmaster Active Suspension unit. I've upgraded my front end links and will do the rears when the part comes in.
